cant install IE5.5 on 0.9.1

Hi,

trying to minimise the number of preinstall tools and scripts to run stuff  
on wine-0.9.1

Dragon requires at least IE5 and I have established it will work under  
wine with IE5.5 if I do my basic setup using sidenet.

That's fine, but I want to minimise the accessory tools reqd. and see what  
wine is capable off now we are at 0.9.1

On fresh .wine I ran winecfg to ensure the basic config. then installed  
DCOM98. This gave an error until I used franks:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" wine DCOM98

[seems the first attempt installed something before quitting ?!]

ie55sp2.exe unpacks fine but the IE5setup stalls even if winecfg sets *n,b  
as default.

Is this fixable / worth persueing or should I just settle for advising ppl  
to use sidenet?

TIA

Why would any one want to use it? Have you read app db entry for IE6? Apparently
not. Please do.

The principal reason at the moment is that it is the only way I can get  
Dragon NS to install with anything more recent that 20050524!

Reason no.2 is that is sure as hell going to be bigger that ie5

Reaon no.3 is that MS get more dangerous and devious with every release. I  
apply a crude rule that earlier is likely to mean less issues where MS is  
concerned.

Well, actually, yes. And the manual method seems to be basically what  
sidenet does for me anyway(-DCOM98 install) just a lot more hassle.

I am trying to document an installation process for the appDB. I want to  
tidy it up to be as minimal as possbile rather than say : do this do that  
, select this or that option. etc.

If there are no better suggestions I will just stick with sidenet (without  
IE6) then a manual IE5.5 , then turn off all the built-in ole stuff that  
does not work then run the installer that fails to run again once it has  
been run once. Doc it and leave it.

It does not make wine look too together but it will at least install and  
run the software under a recent winecfg based wine.

Heya,

for me IE60 installs with a "fresh and clean" wine (CVS 11/11) and just
"ADVPACK.DLL" set to "native". I've tested it with WINE-Version Win98, 2000 and
XP. For Win98 I've done a minimalistic installation like Sidenet does, though.

But besides that I made my "own" (very sidenet-based) script to make things more
comfortable. The Sidenet-Registry (read: basic WINE configuration) appears to be
a bit more "making my stuff work", too. For instance, I just can't Regsvr32 a
native MSXML3.DLL with "standard" WINE. With sidenet it's working flawless.

IE6 works as advertised but does not work with Dragon natspeak whereas  
IE5.5 does.
